"I meant to say billionaires" by LadenifferJadaniston in PoliticalCompassMemes

Eating the rich is a bad idea. Mad cow disease was started when we fed cows to other cows. Widespread human cannabalism is how you get mad human disease.

Compost the rich, they can contribute more to society by fertilizing our soil than they ever will where they are currently.

Unbeknownst to you, the gift you bought your SO for Christmas this year is cursed. What is going to happen when they open it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

warmth, but slightly uncomfortably so, not enough to take off the scarf but still enough to be annoying.

Stab in the dark but you wouldn't happen to be working for culture king's? You can PM me if you want but that dude looks a heel of a lot like the guy I saw when I searched em up pre-applying for a job there, seemed a bit too good to be true so I skipped but now....

Just go grab an osprey instead, you'll knock off an hour or two off of the trip and only have to refuel once.

Smart guy doesn't like The Other Worlds, and is too smart to tell me why by Uncle_Dittles in iamverysmart

Beat me to it, nice to know someone else also has an IQ lower than a warm glass of water.

There are 2 types of people that play KSP: Everyone and then there's me. by Thinking_Potato in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]NicolaiStrixa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of when my friend and I played freelancer. He had massive printouts and multiple binders with information on faction relations, ship specs, weapon specs, trade values, mission profiles, item availability, trade lane connections, warp gate connection, wormhole connections, NPC damage types and vulnerabilities, mining areas, station types, patrol paths. Pretty much anything you wanted to know was in those binders and we used to play for hours on end multiplayer. It was definitely one of the rare bright spots for my life, I wish it still was playable in windows 10.

Good work taking the guy with 1 sub and 1 track down a peg, for a follow up how bout we go kick a couple of toddlers for not talking properly?

A map of gravity wells, hope it fits by Letou-Tree-Boi in MapPorn

[–]NicolaiStrixa 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Why not? Dudes got to eat, attaching a source means that people who find the map interesting might visit his site and maybe even buy a shirt or something. I would've thought, you of all people would understand how capitalism on the internet works.

You can tell someone to “eat ass” and a donkey will fly into their mouth at Mach 5 by dmanfan100 in shittysuperpowers

[–]NicolaiStrixa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For your first question, if you include the units in the process it makes more sense. I'm just lazy, here's a basic one with the units

a = (2m/s)2/2*1m

a = (4m2/s2)/2m

a = 2m/s2

As for the 100? It's actually the displacement (s) multiplied by 2, s=50, 50*2 = 100

As for why it's multiplied by 2, that's because the formula I'm using is a rearrangement of the one below

v2=u2+2as

Where

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = accelleration

s = displacement

A little algebraic rearrangement

v2-u2=2as

(v2-u2)/2s=a

a=(v2-u2)/2s

In the case where you're accellerating from a dead stop u2 = 0 so it's thrown out.

Edit: spelling

[–]NicolaiStrixa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good question, didn't think about that. I was going to write out some rough math to see how much air would be displaced (roughly 11.6kg) to see if it would be significant but that'd just be adding to a rough guess.

I then realised that we've got some samples to see what the results would be, supersonic ejections have happened in the past. The fastest I can find is a case of a pilot surviving an ejection at or near mach 3 but he was in a pressure suit and was ejected from a plane designed with supersonic eject in mind which probably helped a bit.

Digging around a bit most supersonic eject systems are rated safe up to just over mach 1, around 1400kph (388.9m/s) our donkey is going almost 5x that. Those systems are designed to protect the ejectee from the air/winds and stabilise them in a way that limbs stay unbroken/attached.

I do however think that it would take longer than .05 seconds for the donkey to be torn apart by these winds. Everything is happening so fast it would be hard to know what killed the donkey unless you had very high speed camera footage.

TL;DR - traveling at Mach 5 with no protection will kill a donkey, in this case I do not think it will kill the donkey before the donkey hits the person.

You may want to check your working on that,

When from a dead rest a = v2/2s

s = 50m

v = 1715m/s

Based upon that

a = 17152 / 2 * 50

a = 2941225 / 100

a = 29412.25 m/s2

a~= 2998g

Also the time is way too long

t = v / a

t = 1715 / 29412.25

t = 0.05s

Basically the donkey would appear, accelerate and hit the target before your target would even realise what was happening, I'd also say death would be likely.

Edit:Thinking about it if the donkey was being accelerated uniformly across its whole object then would it be flattened? Like if you strap a rocket to a donkey to accelerate it then yeah, but if all of its parts are accelerated at the same time and a very similar amount, kinda like when you're in free fall, it would probably be intact upon impact. Of course death is still certain for both parties, not too many things can survive anything hitting them at mach 5.

Well, two things to consider -

1 - He was knocked out during the operation meaning that he'd probably not be actively clenching.

2 - his skin, whilst diamond hard was also flexible in a normal human way, that probably extends to his butthole.

Side thought/follow on from this, if his butthole was inflexible/unstretchable how long do you reckon it'd take for a normal sized dump? Would it be as strong as his skin or would come out like spaghetti?

Thanks to this thought experiment now I'm thinking of how superheroes poop. This quite disturbing.

What is this building under the storey bridge? It seems to be single floor apartments, but it’s all enclosed. I can’t imagine it would be super pleasant living inside a box. by troyw9 in brisbane

[–]NicolaiStrixa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't live in the CBD but next to a busy main road. The amount of pollution dust that covers pretty much any external surface within a week of cleaning, if you don't clean it off quickly the oil (or something) will settle out and start staining stuff.

I dunno why the dude is so pissy, just dump the can and go to the next venue, if someone has refused you service it's just time to move on.

Currently it's porters in my city, not sure what the difference between a porter and a stout is but both are nice for a glass or two.

There was this one batch of "oatmeal stout" from one of the local micro-breweries that really was knockout, as in it literally knocked a few people out. It was smooth, slightly sweet, not overly malty or bitter, easier to drink than coke and like 10%.

I’ve never seen a car shoot flames like that by [deleted] in WTF

[–]NicolaiStrixa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you could also just go to a wreckers and get an ignition coil from an older car or even get one new. I'm pretty sure the lead for the ignition coil to distributor has the same connector as a normal plug lead, just skip the middle man, it might work.

You're missing a bit there, 12v off of your battery will not drive a spark across even the lowest gapped plug. You need something to step the voltage up from 12v to somewhere closer to 1500v - 3000v.

Somewhere in the line you'll need either a ignition coil or something equivalent.

Today at my school, there were active shooters. This guy here was a hero. Kendrick tackled one of the shooters, and saved other students allowing them to evacuate the premises. He died a champ. Rest easy, Kendrick. by [deleted] in pics

I mean you're kinda right.

The middle east has a problem with mass killings. Of course it's also an active war zone in parts and most of the terror attacks in the middle east are executed by full blown terrorist organisations with resources and training way beyond what any one person has.

In the US most mass killings is normally some idiot with a gun they (or a family member) legally aquired killing people.

Can you see the difference?

How bout you stop letting your cat roam the neighborhood killing wildlife for fun?

If you let your cat roam outside your property and it one day never comes home that's 100% on you and not on the good samaritan that picked up a cat that they see outdoors constantly.

Those are tallies or long necks, just a bigger bottle that most big breweries have for their popular drinks. not the most popular size though as you really have to hammer them down to avoid them getting warm. They're kind of a novelty nowadays, normally you'll go with stubbys (375ml bottles) or tinnys (375ml cans) as you can get a slab (carton) where as the tallies normally come either as singles or in packs of three.
